Field notes

The page organizes the class material into an executive summary, a case for funding, and nine individual plans. It says each student wrote to the principal, completed a proposal and plan, and drew the idea; the site also references scans and transcripts of those worksheets. Costs are framed as rough planning estimates, with the complete class wish list listed at about $17,750 and the smallest individual sponsorship at $450.
